Hitmaker Amy Wong (Black Heart White Soul) produces one of TVB's biggest productions in recent years in Lord Of Shanghai. Set in Republican-era Shanghai, the drama boasts a truly star-studded cast that includes Anthony Wong, Wayne Lai, Kent Tong, Ron Ng, Myolie Wu, Kenneth Ma, Louisa So and more.
At a time when Shanghai was split into a smorgasbord of concessions, urchin Kiu Ngo Tin (Kenneth Ma, later Anthony Wong) is trying hard just to survive. Following an initially hostile first encounter, he becomes acquainted, then friends with gangster Kung Siu San (Wayne Lai). Together, they carve out a place for themselves in the Shanghai crime world. Though Ngo Tin retains his inherent kindness and sense of justice throughout, he is forced to sacrifice a relationship with Peking opera apprentice Gu Siu Lau (Myolie Wu) during his climb to the top.
Years later, Ngo Tin finds himself increasingly at odds with Siu San as well as fellow tycoon Chak Kam Tong (Kent Tong). In this danger-fraught environment, he meets Siu Lau again. They have little time to rebuild their relationship, though, as Shanghai finds itself under increasing pressure from the Japanese.
